Nektar Impact MIDI Support

[wzjoriv]

Enhancement Summary

It would be nice if extra support for Nektar Impact keyboards could be added to lmms. These keyboards are becoming more popular as an entry level midi keyboard.

Justification

When using my new Nektar Impact 88+, outside of the keys, most of the extra buttons did not work with lmms. Increasing the volume did not affect lmms in any way, all pads produced the same sounds and couldn't be changed, etc.

Mockup

Potentially an plugin could be added to handle communication between the keyboard extra buttons and lmms. I have no idea.

This isn't specific to any one MIDI controller, and controller mapping would fix this for all controllers. Closing as duplicate of #1472

How can one map the controller?

[qnebra]

This is much more complex than simple scripts, as many lmms functions aren't exposed to midi.
